Abstract

There is a close ethical relationship between human beings and the nature. Man exists in the nature in the mode of a culture. Mankind is the most advanced part in the whole system of the nature representing the development towards its higher direction. The rest of the system constitute an indispensable environmental condition for his development. Mans protection on the nature is positive and active, while the nature also realizes its restraints on man in the way of choice of the culture, which regulates the direction of mans development. Safeguarding the nature is mans ultimate self-actualization. Man should abide by the rule of harmony between man and the nature, and should infuse the spirit of ethics into technology, so as to solve the profound contradiction between man and the nature to reach a favorable state in the harmonious development between man and the nature.
